“Just want you to have everything, and I know you love teaching.”
“I do,” I agree. “But at the time, teaching was all I knew, what I’d spent most of my life working towards, then I found you.” God, it feels like forever ago, even though it wasn’t. It’s hard to remember life without this man.
“I found you,” he corrects.
“I mean, when you mildly stalked me.”
“When?” he teases back, raising his eyebrows. “Didn’t know I ever stopped. I merely made it a little easier for myself.”
That makes me laugh again.
“I don’t know if I’ll go back. I’ve really liked helping with your charities. Especially the scholarship programs.”
“Then it’s yours,” he says simply, and I shake my head at him.
“Ours,” I correct. “I like helping the kids there, but I also like the freedom and, well, I want more, too. I’m just shocked at how fast I got pregnant again.”
“I’m not. You know I can’t keep my hands off you.” I know he can’t. After I had the twins I was a little shy about having sex again. My body wasn’t what it once was. I was never skinny, and pregnancy put extra marks on my body.
The first night we made love after I had them, Jack had kissed every mark. Then he told me he wanted to put more on my body. It was clear he wasn’t waiting. I really shouldn’t be shocked, either. Jack always dives head-first into everything.
“How many more do you want?” I bring my mouth to his.
“As many as you want.”
“We have three spare rooms in the new house.”
Jack moves fast, putting my back on the sofa as he comes over me. “Then I best get to work. Because what my little monster wants, she will always get.”
